[OS X TeX] How to make locate/spotlight search ~/Library/texmf

[André Bellaïche]

Maybe a little off subject.

It seems than on my keyboard, you open Spotlight by typing ctrl-space, not cmd-space. And ctrl-alt-space does the same thing as typing cmd-F while in the finder : open a classical Find window.

cmd-space and cmd-alt-space do nothing.

(Mac OS 10.6.4, French keyboard)
